Revise Title VII: Remove the paragraph allowing discrimination against communists

To be delivered to The United States House of Representatives, The United States Senate, and President Barack Obama

Petition Statement

Title VII, the federal law which prohibits employers from engaging in discriminatory employment practices, exempts members of the Communist Party from protection. In effect, it allows employers to freely discriminate against and/or harass employees who are members of the Communist Party or affiliated organizations. The clause which allows discrimination against communists needs to be removed since it is discriminatory, unconstitutional, outdated and is a violation of human rights.
